Labor Day Celebration in the town square of Banska Bystrica was a colorful day of singing and dancing in the warm sunshine. These girls allowed me to photograph them but not before considering if they really wanted me to or not. Thanks to an older sister or dancer they agreed. They are delightful!
The event raised a large pole tree in the town with the top 15 feet decorated. Then the Prime Minister of Slovakia--their president--spoke and the people, many enjoying the shade and refreshments of a dozen outdoor cafes around the town square looked on and kept talking. Enjoy the photos and imagine the songs as young girls and boys celebrate their national history.
